Everyday Mathematics allows the students to revisit math concepts regularly and builds difficulty as they practice them. I will be using the workbook problems to enhance student learning one concept at a time. This means, for instance, when we learn graphing, we will find all the graphing problems at once for a deeper understanding. Then I will reinforce interpreting graphs by students using graphing websites where they will be able to create their own graphs.
Concepts covered in Grade 4:
Graphing and Mapping
Graphing: reading the x-y axis, labeling and location of the parts of the graph, data collection and interpretation of bar, pie, line, and pictographs Mapping: Understanding NESW, latitude and longitude, northern, eastern, southern and western hemisphere, equator and prime meridian Math Textas a resource: locating information from text regarding countries, their latitude and longitudes, population, etc.
Geometry
2D Shapes: recognizing, naming and making 2D shapes, polygons, and non-polygons Tools: rulers for measuring and straight edge, compasses for circles and creating designs, protractors for measuring angles. Perimeter and Area: 2D shapes including rectangles and triangles 3D Shapes: recognizing and naming shapes; using height, width, length to find perimeter and area of some shapes
Numeration
Adding: multiple digits, carrying over, story problems, adding negative numbers Subtracting: multiple digits, borrowing, story problems Multiplication: single and multiple digits, carrying over, story problems Division: single and multiple digits Large Numbers: place values above zero, expressing large numbers with words, decimal place value Exponents: powers of numbers, powers of 10 and zeros in the place value, basic square roots
Measurement
Metric Unit of Measurement: kilometers, meters, decimeters, centimeters, millimeters, grams Standard Unit of Measurement: miles, yards, feet, inches, fraction of inches, pounds, ounces
Decimals, Fractions, and Percents
Decimals: money, place values below zero, equivalents to fractions and percents, adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing decimals Fractions: equivalent fractions, ordering fractions, adding, subtracting and multiplying proper and improper fractions, equivalents to decimals and percents Percents: finding equivalent decimals and fractions, using percents in pie graphs and probabilities.
Probability
Dice, cards, spinners, game outcomes, making good choices due to probabilities
